Three Teens on Facebook “Kill List” Murdered (social, network, twitter, Auckland, news, report)


In the past ten days, three teens have been murdered in Puerto Asis, a southwestern Colombian town. All three teens appeared on a Facebook “kill list,” that consisted of 66 other names.
According to Mashable, Colombian police are investigating the Facebook “kill list,” but they are not sure who posted it, or why the names were chosen.
Two of the murders occurred on August 15th, two days before the Facebook “kill list” was posted. When the list did go up, it warned the other people on the list that they had three days to leave the city of Puerto Asis. The list was thought to be a joke by authorities, but on August 20th, another person was killed, and another person was wounded during an attack.
Police are offering a reward of 5 million pesos ($2,750) for any information about the origins of the “kill list.”
According to the New York Daily News, there are two major gangs that are active in the area; the Los Rastrojos as well as the militant group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
